Opening tonight: McTeague's Saloon, a San Francisco drinkery that offers as much in the way of microbrews as it does nostalgia. Named after the title character from Frank Norris' 1899 novel, the bar features design elements that reference the Old West (think: mineshaft lamps and swinging doors). It's even located on the ground floor of the first building constructed after the San Francisco earthquake of 1906. History and danger? We can think of worse drinking buddies.
1237 Polk St., San Francisco, (415) 776-1237
